The 2009 Gorge Outrigger Races are July 17-18th. We look forward to seeing you there!

Competitors are invited to camp and rig at the Fairgrounds just a short walk or paddle from the race site, with everything you may need nearby in terms of restaurants, fuel, groceries, hardware, etc. Camping is included in registration fees, yet further services are available at www.skamania.org to meet your needs.

Please be prepared for changing weather conditions, a damp night and cloudy morning may very well lead to sunny skies with winds to 25 mph and 3 foot swells! Skirts are required on all OC6 canoes and leashes are mandatory on OC1, OC2, SUPs and Surfskis. PNWORCA rules apply. Safety boats will patrol the courses but crews are responsible for themselves - please be efficient at righting your canoes swiftly!

Spectators will be able to view the entire course from the Sternwheeler Pier at the start/finish where Hawaiian, Mexican food, and Espresso concessions will be offered as well as snacks and water. Craft concessions and clinics are welcome!!

Please download a registration packet and return the completed forms at registration on Friday, July 17. Registration will be from 3 - 7pm on Friday. Please note that each crew will need to submit an entry form and waiver. Paddlers without USACK or CORA numbers must fill out a USACK Waiver and pay an additional fee of $10.

Registration includes a race shirt, raffle tickets, camping and safety boats. Contact JD for any information you cannot find here. We look forward to another excellent event and we hope to see you soon!
